City Council, At-large

Stacy Head

Ms. Head has been an energetic and effective councilmember and a supporter of good government during her tenure representing District B. She is a lawyer with expertise in maritime and business litigation and came to the council with experience in revitalizing blighted housing. She has a keen understanding of the complexities of issues facing her district and the city as a whole. She points to the economic revitalization of commercial corridors in her district and pledges to work to replicate those successes citywide. She also says she will continue her focus on reducing blight. As an at-large member, she will need to broaden her vision and find ways to encourage collaboration, which she promises to do.
